Divisional champions[edit]

Since the SEC expanded in 1992 Divisional Champions have been crowned. Occasionally, a tie between two or more teams occurs, requiring a tie-break. All teams involved in the tie breaker are considered Co-Divisional Champions, and the winner of the tie-breaker is the division's representative to the Championship Game. Below is list of all Divisional Champions and Co-Champions;

Men's Basketball[edit]

Although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC has awarded its official men's basketball championship based solely on regular-season record since the 1950–51 season, whether or not the tournament existed at a given time. The tournament, however, does determine the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.[1]

The SEC Tournament determined the overall SEC Champion from 1933-34 and 1936-50

Division champions (1992–2011)[edit]

When the SEC expanded to 12 schools with the addition of South Carolina and Arkansas for the 1992 season, the conference divided its basketball teams into separate divisions, East and West, just like for football. With the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri for the 2011 season, divisions were eliminated in basketball.[2]

Women's Basketball[edit]

Although the SEC began sponsoring women's basketball competition in the 1979–80 season, it was not fully integrated into the conference until the 1982–83 season, which was the first in which each team played the same number of conference games. Also, although this article lists both regular-season and tournament champions, the SEC has officially awarded its conference title based solely on the regular-season standings since the 1985–86 season. From 1980 to 1985, the official SEC champion was the tournament winner, but the tournament now only determines the recipient of the SEC's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.[3]

Men's Tennis[edit]

From 1953-1989, the SEC Champion was determined by the accumulation of points in an individual flighted tournament (there was not a separate team tournament champion).[5]

In 1990, a team dual match format was instituted for the conference tournament which provided the SEC Tournament Champion.[6]

From 1990-98, the SEC Champion was determined by a total aggregate points accumulated at the conclusion of the conference tournament: one full point was awarded for each regular-season conference win, one-half point for wins in the first two rounds of the conference tournament, one-half point for receiving a first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in the conference tournament semifinals and finals.[7]

For the 1999 season, the same points system was in place with a couple of changes: one full point for first-round bye in the conference tournament and one full point for a win in any round of the conference tournament.[8]

In 2000, the SEC changed the determination of its tennis regular season champion to the team with the best winning percentage in conference regular-season dual matches.[9]

Women's Tennis[edit]

All 14 SEC schools play women's tennis.

In 2000, the SEC changed the determination of its tennis champions to the team with the best winning percentage in conference regular-season dual matches (11 matches). Before this, a points system was used in which full- or half-points were awarded for wins during the season as well as during the conference tournament.

The SEC Champion was determined by the accumulation of individual points in the SEC Tournament from 1980-81 and 1984-1989. In 1982-1983, the SEC Champion was determined from dual match play in the SEC tournament From 1990-1999, the SEC Champion was determined by accumulated points in dual matches during the regular season and in the SEC Tournament

Last team to win regular season & tournament in same year: Florida, 2012

Volleyball[edit]

Thirteen SEC schools play women's volleyball; Vanderbilt does not. The SEC does not currently sponsor men's volleyball, and no conference member has a varsity men's team.

The SEC Volleyball Tournament was suspended for three seasons after the 2005 season. It was not renewed, but, with the NCAA on the verge of officially adding sand volleyball to its Emerging Sports List, the conference's coaches instead sponsored a Commissioner's Cup tournament for that variation of the sport. The tournaments, which were held in mid-April between 2008–10, were won by Georgia, South Carolina, and LSU respectively.
